[Foundation-l] Oral citations project update: more articles + full English subtitle track

[Achal Prabhala]

Dear friends,

A quick update on the oral citations project.

1) We have now posted sample articles in all 3 project languages, 
Malayalam, Sepedi and Hindi:

2) A full English subtitle track for the film is now available on 
Wikimedia Commons (the previous one only covered non-English speech):

There are a couple of things yet to come, some of which are 
intrinsically linked to the suggestions and comments coming in from the 
discussion on the previous thread. These are:

a) A few more articles in development, which will be posted when done

b) Transcripts of the audio interviews in Hindi, Sepedi and Malayalam, 
each accompanied by an English transcript (in development)

c) An FAQ, where we can begin thinking collaboratively about ways in 
which an exercise like this could work/be made to work under existing 
policies within the Wikimedia movement, and Wikipedia specifically; as 
well as ways in which this project could be extended to think about 
sources and citations generally.

Lastly, if you haven't had a chance to see the work of the project, you
